Sketch is a bookish, nervous mage who is frighteningly capable when backed into a corner. Not the adventuring type, but as dangerous as the game of intrigue can be, it is still preferable to a life spent caged by the templars. Sketch despises the Circle of Magi.

Sketch appears to have little patience for Leliana's embellishing their past. However, Leliana nonetheless seeks his help regarding messages left by their mutual friend, Tug.[1] Sketch's whereabouts are largely unknown except to his former comrade, but he appears to have made a reputation for himself as someone who sees problems differently and has a unique approach to knowledge and problem solving.[2]

Sketch later travels to Kirkwall where he is attacked several times by different groups of assassins and mercenaries as part of the Chanter's Board quest Sketchy on the Details. It is not known exactly how he has earned the ire of so many groups, though when Hawke comments on his numerous enemies Sketch remarks that Hawke should take his advice and stay away from storytellers.

After finding Tug's body in the dungeon, Leliana can give Tug's Edge to Sketch. This is the only gift that can be given to a companion in the DLC, and will result in an increase in approval and a boost in spellpower.
